In an attempt to provide increased value to our visitors, UCS Forest Group may choose various third-party web sites to link to from its own site. However, even if the third party is affiliated with UCS Forest Group, UCS Forest Group has no control over these linked sites, all of which have separate privacy and data collection practices, independent of UCS Forest Group. UCS Forest Group has no responsibility or liability for these independent policies or actions and is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such web sites, whether or not UCS Forest Group has been advised of such privacy practices or content by you or any other party. These linked sites are only for your convenience and therefore you access them at your own risk. Nonetheless, UCS Forest Group seeks to protect the integrity of its web site and the links placed upon it and therefore requests any feedback on not only its own site, but for sites it links to as well (including if a specific link does not work) and may take any such actions as UCS Forest Group deems necessary in its sole discretion.
UCS Forest Group may revise these Terms and Conditions at any time by updating this posting.

Certain provisions of these Terms and Conditions may be superseded by expressly designated legal notices or terms located on particular pages at this Website.
If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties agree that the court should endeavour to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions shall remain in full force and effect.
These Terms and Conditions constitute the complete and entire agreement between the parties and supersede any prior agreement, whether written or oral.
UCS Forest Group will not be considered to have waived any of its rights or remedies described in these Terms and Conditions unless the waiver is in writing and signed by UCS Forest Group. No delay or omission by UCS Forest Group in exercising its rights or remedies will impair or be construed as a waiver of its right to enforce such rights at any time.
